Lowly roach inspires high-tech robotics

[FUNKMAN]

not only do they say the roach will be here long after man nukes each other off the face of the earth but now they are making "robot roaches"

reminds me a little of that Tom Selleck movie with all them little "bug robots"...

my first thought is "can't they find something better to do with the money?" but maybe it will be put to some good use that will benefit man.

another thing i noticed is they gave it a spanish sounding name... what up wit dat?

I think the answer lies in the question.

i remember we had roaches growing up in our apt in Jeresy City. it turns out with the combination of my dad doing stuff and an exterminator, they were able to get rid of them.

my friend lived in the projects and i was in his apt and took my hairbrush out of my pocket and placed it on his table. when i later picked it up it had a big roach on it. he grabbed the brush and threw the roach in the garbage. naturally I asked him "why didn't you kill it?" to this day he has never answered me.

speaking of roaches...

i dated a girl and when i first went to her house there was at least 1 roach per sq. foot of wallspace. the next time i went there i didn't see any, she was hosting a jeweley show. all i could do was shake my head and say "where did they all go?"

the next time i was over she snuck me in her room(yes! to do the nasty) without her family knowing and her sister knocked on her bedroom door. I had to hide and she didn't have a closet. It was either under the bed or hang off the windowsil(sp?) of the 6th floor window. I took my chances under the bed but i tell you, i feared for my life.

Make that 3.

And to make a bad movie worse, it features a Spectacularly Bad performance from my childhood hero, Gene Simmons. All he does is glower at the camera and deliver wooden monotone threats.

And I'm still pissed off theyre touring as KISS with someone else wearing Ace's makeup. Hang it Up, guys, I love ya too much.

Wow, can I kill/de-rail a thread or What?!?!?!

yes, another roach story!

when i was 6 i had a friend around the corner, his name was Eliza, or Eliser(sp?) one day i knocked on his door to see if he could play and his sister came to the door. She said Eliser couldn't come out because a roach bit him in the eye!

i don't know, i still find that kind of funny!
